IoSpoN. July 2l.-The Liberal dinner to MI.
Parnell and the Irish Nationalists fell Iar SNORT
Of being representative gathering. Ims was
meant to be a sort of public demonstration OF
harmony between the two wings Of the Home
Rule party and q public testimony from the
Liberals of their. sympathy with Mr. farneh
under accusations But no Liberal leader was
present, and no man Of even second rate posi'aon
In the party. The hosts were exclusively Ca
treme Radicals Mr.. Gladstone, Mr. Morley OLE
William Harcourt and the other Aoerai GA
Ministers failed even to send letters OIL regrc'
Cor their absence. II the Irish members were
really In want of a certificate of respectability,
which is the last thing they would admit, 1t
oucbt to be signed by Liberals Of different
type from Mr. Iabouchere, Mr.. Clark Sir Will
fred Lawson and Professor Stuart.
Mr.. Parnell's speech, nevertheless, is extremely
Important as, perhaps, an announcement OF
new departure Lord Salsbury's statement at
the Carlton Club has satisfied MIR. Parnell, Who
ever else is dissatisfied. The Irish leader IN re-
turn for Lord Salsbury's concessions now says
that if the proposed amendments are embodied IN
the bill and if they are fairly carried OUT there
will be no occasion for Coercion. Agrarian ag1-
tation will cease because agrarian discomfort Will
be removed. lie appeals to Irishmen to stop
outrages on another ground. They have more 10
gain by keeping quiet. 1t would, says Mr..
Parnell, be foolish for them to throw away the
splendid position which has been won for them
They would be most ungrateful If by any words,
by any act, by any programme or by any policy
they should retard the progress Of the Liberal
rarty in the path of justice to Ireland. This is
an assurance to the Government pledge to the
Liberal party and strong appeal to the Irish
party of action in America. Perhaps the last is
not the least important. Nothing has been said
publicly, but authorities here have information
which points to a renewal Of dynamite outrages
Mr. Parnell seizes the occasion for pubic
protest
As for the Tories they seem to regard Mr.
Parnell's speech as reopening the question OF CO.
operation between him and them. MIR. Gladstone
on Saturday disclaimed an alliance with Mr'
Parnell on the ground among others that Mr..
Parnell might find it expedient in the cause OF
Ireland to accept Tory help and might get better
terms from them than from the Liberals. l can
see nothing in Mr.. Parnell's language which looks
like parting company from the Liberals. Yet
The Standard seems to discover something like
overtures and receives them with exceeding
civi]y.
The meeting Of the Tory party at the Carlton
Club came near provoking mutiny in the ranks,
but the dissenting Conservatives were reduced 20
order. Lord Kilmorey and Colonel Saunderson,
who headed the revolt, are good men but not
strong enough to succeed where Lord Randolph
Churchill has failad: il he has failed He stayed
away from the meeting and nobody quite knows
what his next line will be; but all authentic
evidence points to-day to Mr. Chamberlain, not
Lord Randolph Churchill, as the author of Lord
SalisbSry's newly announced policy. True, MIR.
Chamberlain and Lord Randolph Churchill are
working together and aiming perhaps at the
same ultimate result But Lord Randolph
ChurchilPs criticism on the Irish Land Bill has
been to o considerable extent put aside, while
Mr.. Chamberlain's suggestions have been accepted
Lord Salisbury's statement is described as
masterpiece Of ingenuity. He had to accept the
principal Of revision Of judicial rents without
throwing over Mr.. Goschen, who only last week
declared against it in a set speech in the House
of Commons Be 30 good therefore, as to under
stand that the scheme now proposed contem-
plates not revision Of judicial rents but tenn
porary abatement, or, IL you prefer, adjustment.
The bankruptcy clauses will not be pressed, and
other notifications of the measure will be made
In short the Liberal -Unionists have their way.
1t might almost be said that the Irish have their
way Mr.. Parnelps speech shows how surprised
and delighted he is at the extent of the con-
cessions. The measure now becomes one gen. |
timely beneficial to Irish tenants. Lord Sails
bury's opponents taunt him with having been |
converted by the elections The taunt might |
have hurt last week But the whole Hornscy |
nj. a.
ly for the Gladstonians tan they believed. Both |
sides claim truly to have gained. The balance |
OF gains is doubtful
Continental comment on the failure Of the |
Anglo-Tu Turkish Convention varies according to |
latitude. That England, under foreign Min
lister who is the exponent Of a spirited foreign |
policy, has experienced a diplomatic defeat, is
generally agreed 1t is the probable result Of |
this defeat about which people differ. II it is |
true that Germany has sided with England |
against Russia and France, the result may well |
be diplomatic blessing in disguise.
1t did not really require two COLI ions between
four ironclads to turn mems minds to the Naval
Review which occurs on Saturday. Social as
well as naval preparations have been going on
for weeks. The feet already anchored in position
ut Spithead includes twenty-six armored vessels |
fourteen cruisers, thirtyone gunboats and thirty
eight torpedo boats, with a tonnage approaching |
quarter Of million. Authorities say this will |
be the most remarkable naval spectacle ever
witnessed during a peace. The ships carrying |
visitors will be innumerablc Many have already |
arrived and others leave the Thames tomorrow
to remain at sea till Monday. The feet of
yachts will include nearly everything afoat
Some Of them fly the Stars and Stripes Mr.
Vanderbilt I hear, has obtained some special
privileges for the Alva, though not permission |
